Chapter 9: Jiangnan Luo's!

Since Xizi Yu Wu Yue, the beauties out of Jiangnan have been widely spread, and unlike the north of Jianghuai, Jiangnan has always experienced very few wars.

Since the north of the Great Sui Dynasty and the south of the Great Sui Dynasty seized the world, Jiangnan retreated to the second place in the current situation, and many Jiangnan scholars were quite angry.

Therefore, the Jiangnan Shi clan actively participated in Yang Guang's seizure of the heir, hoping to turn over politically, but only the Gusuluo clan closed the mountain gate, only served as an official in the local area, and married many old marriages, and did not do the act of seizing the heir.

In the early years of the emperor, Yang Jian abolished the establishment of the level of Tianxia County, completely changed to the state and county system, and Gusu County took the word Su and changed it to Suzhou, but for this kind of age-saving gate valve, the people of the world still use the name of the old county.

Suzhou seems to have not changed for thousands of years, Luosu and the three of them passed through Yangzhou, crossed the Yangtze River by boat, and went straight through Jianye, as if they had entered a delicate picture.

Especially Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing, who were born in the extreme north of winter, every small bridge and flowing water here deeply attracted the two.

The three of them dismounted, boarded the light boats, and looked out at the whitewashed buildings in the narrow alleys.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play between lotus leaves.

Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north. ”

Luo Xuanjing's slender hand was playing in the water, as if there was a fish walking through his fingers.

She hummed softly the Yuefu poems that circulated in the Han Dynasty, and even a person like Luo Xuanye, who was extremely cold, couldn't help but be moved: "If you don't go to Jiangnan, you will never know that the good scenery between the lines is really like this." ”

Jiangnan brought great shock to the two, but for Luo Su, it made him feel even more deeply.

For him, the most shocking thing was to see that the land that was deserted and unsuitable for survival was planted with a lot of grain and grass.

The roads that were once rough and difficult were leveled enough for a few carriages.

South of the Yangtze River, which was once too far away from exile, has now become a bustling land of fish and rice.

People who live in the world do not feel this little by little change.

Only people like Luo Su, who have lived in both eras, know how shocking this is.

That's a change of heaven and earth, that's a change of world!

Suzhou, one of the central cities in the south of the Yangtze River, is very peaceful here, although there are officials of the imperial court here, but everyone knows that there is only one master here, that is Luo's!

As a family that has been entrenched here for hundreds of years, the roots of the Rock's tree are unimaginable and immeasurable by almost everyone.

But Luo's is not very flashy, in the city of Suzhou, Luo's has many mansions, or rather, there is a whole city inhabited by Luo's clansmen and domestic servants.

This is the shop operated by Rockwell and the window to the outside world.

"Most of the Luo clan people live in manors outside Suzhou, where the Luo clan still has a large area of land, and half of the land in Suzhou is under the name of the Luo clan, which is really prominent."

The people of Suzhou enthusiastically introduced Luosu to Luosu, and when they heard about the land of 20%, Luosu's faces were full of surprise.

It's horrible!

As soon as Luo Su made a look, Luo Xuanjing asked, "Old man, if the Luo clan occupies so much land, won't it cause other people to have no land to plant?" ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and waved his hand: "Farming for Luo's is a good errand that can't be grabbed, Luo's doesn't exploit much, I heard that the shops make money very much, and they don't care about the output of these loesses, they only save it for food." ”

Typical Rockwell!

The three of them went all the way to the front of Luo's Manor.

It is a somewhat splendid courtyard, made of a mixture of stone and logs, which is full of solemnity.

The plaque at the top of the gate of the manor reads Benevolence and Righteousness.

On either side of the gate against the wall, there are stone tablets with many words on them, with names and descriptions of the merits of the names listed.

This is a kind of atmosphere in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan scholars are still figures, so they will list the outstanding figures of their own family to evaluate the level of the valve.

At this moment, it was very lively in front of the door, and the owner of the Luo clan sent a group of people out, and those people were probably officials such as supervision envoys and assassins sent by the imperial court in terms of clothing and accessories.

Forty percent of Suzhou's taxes were paid by Luo's, and almost every official who came to Suzhou to serve would come to visit the head of Luo's family.

Even if the Luo clan is suppressed, there is no title, no honor, and there are no civil and military officials, but the strength does not completely depend on the official position.

Don't talk about the history of Shangzhou from the third grade, even if the Xiao family has the title of the duke of the founding county of the second grade, he will not hold it up in front of Luo.

Even if the head of Luo's family is just an official from Suzhou under the fourth grade, even if he is a young man who has just been crowned.

That's Rockwell!

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and with the heritage of Jiangnan Luo, as long as it does not offend the royal family, it will be no problem to consume it for another hundred years.

The greetings of the group in front of the door were about to end, and the Suzhou Thorn Priest left in the carriage, and the head of the Luo family sighed slightly, and it was rumored that the main branch of the Luo family returned to the Central Plains, and these people all came to explore the wind, but they didn't know it.

He was about to return to the mansion, and he glanced at it casually, but he was directly stunned.

In the corner of the wall not far away, there were three people standing in a long body, a man who couldn't understand his age, and a pair of young people and girls who were beautiful in Zhong Lingyu.

The three looked at themselves with a smile.

They came for themselves.

This is what he saw in the eyes of the three of them.

The appearance of these three people is all first-class and excellent, and the head of the Luo family is sure that he doesn't know these three people, otherwise he will definitely not forget them if he sees them.

He was about to step up and ask.

But the three of them raised their hands in unison, and the pair of young men and girls reached behind their heads to untie the ribbon wrapped around their foreheads, and the man in the middle stretched out two fingers and swiped them in front of his forehead.

The next moment.

The three stigmatas appeared in front of him in unison!

Those three stigmata shone brightly and were full of sacred meaning.

The seal is engraved between the eyebrows, shining with light from time to time, and the stigma meanders, as if there are ancient words flowing, containing the supreme avenue of heaven and earth.

If something is not so sacred, how can there be so many kinds of divine powers?

Quiet!

Quiescence!

Deathly silence!

The three of Luo Su felt the gaze of those intently gazes, and they were calm.

The head of the Luo family finally moved, and he slowly moved to the three of Luo Su step by step, and looked at the stigma again.

His body was so stiff that he couldn't speak, and his whole body seemed to lie alone all night in a snowy night that was cold for nine days, but his heart was as hot as hot magma, burning his whole body red.

At this moment, he finally understood that the so-called lightning strike was not the slightest exaggeration.

He looked up at the clear blue sky, which was still blue and clear, as in the past, and in the clear sky, a lightning bolt struck him.

"Innocent Blue."

With difficulty, he lowered his gaze from the blue sky back to the three of them, and landed on the three holy stigmatas.

"Innocent blue, so beautiful, stigmata is more beautiful, isn't it?"

Luo Xuanjing took a step forward, stood beside him, looked at him with a smile, and then saw him crying, and the tears couldn't stop falling, just like the gurgling stream, which didn't stop.

"Welcome south to the Central Plains.

Jiangnan Luo's, Luo Jingcheng, the word Boli. ”

Luo Jingcheng stopped his tears and saluted the three of them with the oldest Bangzhou etiquette.

"Luo Xuanye!"

"Luo Xuanjing!"

The two put away the smiles on their faces and saluted Luo Jingcheng equally respectfully, Luo Jingcheng looked at Luo Su with obvious doubts on his face.

It is true that there is a stigmata between the eyebrows, but this is a stigma that has never been seen before, and as I saw with my own eyes just now, his stigma can be hidden, which is more advanced than the stigmata of Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye.

Who's this?

What happened to the lineage?

Luo Xuanjing said: "Boli, do you know the prophecies that have been circulated in the world?

Luo Shen issued a decree, and Duke Wen came to the world.

This is my ancestor of Luo's 1,500 years ago, the ancestor Wengong! ”

Luo Jingcheng only felt that he had encountered more in one day today than in the past twenty years, even when he took over as the head of the Luo family in Jiangnan, he was not so confused, but today it was really wave after wave.

First of all, the Luo clan suddenly appeared in front of him without the slightest preparation.

I thought this was the most shocking thing, but now Luo Xuanjing, who is a descendant of the Luo family, told himself that a living ancestor was standing in front of him, and he was the kind of ancestor who had to count dozens of generations and couldn't even find the title.

He knelt down almost instantly, and there were three rings, "Luo Jingcheng, the descendant of the future, kowtow to the ancestors, may the ancestors live for a thousand years and be safe for all eternity." ”

Luo Xuanjing sneered directly when she saw this, she recalled that when they first met Luo Su, they were almost the same as Luo Jingcheng now, and their whole body was weak, and they couldn't even stand up.

Luo Su helped Luo Jingcheng up, his forehead was already red, gently patted the soil on his body, and said with a smile: "No need to do this, let's go inside and talk about it." ”

"Ancestor, please!"

Luo Jingcheng didn't dare to go beyond the slightest rule, let Luo Su go first, and he accompanied him to guide the way.

After entering the manor, it suddenly became clear that the manor covers a huge area, even a small hill, and also contains many lakes in the thousand lakes, bluestone paved paths, green trees on both sides, flowers and plants.

There are even small bridges and flowing water seen in Suzhou City in the courtyard, with real mountains and rockeries everywhere, and the three of Luo Su only feel that they are enjoying a classical picture.

Luo Jingcheng introduced the three of them: "The ancestors, the family sat in the south of the Yangtze River, devoted themselves to the study of culture and literature, and now the Jiangnan literary rhetoric is the crown of the world, these scenery is mostly passed to the north, the so-called step by step, step by step, with limited space, unlimited beauty." ”

The scenery of the lake and the mountains, the staggered falling, let Luo Xuanjing indulge in it, simply linger, those strange peaks and stones that make artificial mountains, are all unique, let people sigh at the magic of nature.

"After several generations of family efforts, today's Suzhou, is the pearl of the south of the Yangtze River, Zhuoran is the crown of the states in the south of the Yangtze River, can be compared with it, probably only Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, where was built by Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty, the construction of the ancient capital of the past dynasties, after the destruction of the war, has not been as much as Suzhou and Yangzhou."

Luo Jingcheng's words were full of pride, and he was able to abide by the various rules of the Luo family and develop the family to the present in the years when the Luo family was not in the Central Plains, which is the credit of the Luo family in Jiangnan.

Luo Su looked at Luo Jingcheng and bowed slightly: "It's very hard." ”

Luo Jingcheng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and replied in a low voice: "It's not hard, because of the family's reputation, so what is the hard work?" ”

Luo Su patted him on the shoulder, and the group walked around a corridor, and then walked into the main hall, Luo Jingcheng presented Luo Su to the main seat, and then he sat on another chair with Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye, Luo Jingcheng asked: "Ancestor, do you need to call the rest of the family now?"

Your birth is a big event, worthy of the whole family to celebrate, we have been silent for too long, when the wind is galloping! ”

Luo Su stretched out his hand to stop: "No hurry.

This time, the three of us came to Jiangnan to see how the descendants of the family left in the world are doing.

There are no changes.

It is not easy for you to survive in the chaotic situation until now, so that the world still knows the name of Luo.

Now that I'm doing well, I'm relieved. ”

Hearing this, Luo Jingcheng was already upset, and sure enough, Luo Su immediately said: "After that, I will leave the Central Plains, at least a few years, or even ten years later, and I will return in ten years.

Jiangnan Luo's god position, after the family returns to the south in the future, they will all be sent to Winter City, and migrate with other gods.

Two hundred years have not changed, people's hearts are like Mount Tai, like the Yellow River, this is the honor you deserve. ”

Luo Su's evaluation of Jiangnan Luo's is extremely high, people's hearts are changeable, Luo's can stick to his heart, this is an extremely difficult thing, just look at the current situation of Luo's to know how much it has cost.

Luo Jingcheng's hand on the chair held and let go, he said with joy and sadness: "Ancestor, what Jiangnan Luo's family has been thinking about all these years is to wait for the family to return to the south and return to the family, and the family has made a lot of preparations for this.

Even though the ancestor is about to travel far away again, please let me introduce you to it.

Legend has it that there is an artifact in the hands of the descendants, with the power of Sumeru mustard seeds, if it is true, please ask the ancestors to take away those things that are inconvenient to store.

These things are really hard to survive in the family, and they have been lost and damaged over the years. ”

Jiangnan Luo's collection of good things over the years is really a lot, especially in the Liang Dynasty, when Luo's crazy collection of calligraphy, paintings, utensils, and those ancient books.

These objects of cultural value can fill an entire warehouse.

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing were both shocked by Jiangnan Luo's collection, of course, this is not to say that the main branch is not as good as here, this is different, it is something that the main branch has collected for countless years, but here is Jiangnan Luosu collected alone.

With the collection of Jiangnan Luo's, it almost makes up for the blank of Luo's main branch in the two hundred years, and the history that has occurred in these two hundred years can be illuminated little by little by the history after the luck is abundant, but those cultural relics are hard to find.

Once damaged, it will be powerless.

"The old ancestor, when the Yinghou lineage was destroyed, brought their collections to Jiangnan.

Those things, we have carefully collected them, these things, also have the credit of the Yinghou lineage. ”

Luo Jingcheng pointed to some of them and said to Luo Su, with nostalgia in his tone, the fate of the Luo clan in Jiangnan is at least better than that of the Yinghou lineage, and the Yinghou line is destined to perish with the fall of the Han Dynasty.

Luo Su once understood the history of Luo's in the next thousand years, and understood the lofty status of Yinghou, he walked to the bookshelf, reached out and touched it, there was no trace of dust in front of the bookshelf, and he often wiped it at a glance, "It is all the glory of Luo's family, and they are all good sons and daughters who should be recorded in the history books." ”

Luo Su swept his gaze across the entire quiet room, he slowly raised his hand and swept around, those things placed on the bookshelf one by one disappeared in front of Luo Jingcheng's eyes, he stared at this scene with wide eyes, and his heart was shocked, the rumors were really not fake, there is really an artifact like this in the family, an artifact called Sumeru mustard seeds.

When the last piece of calligraphy and painting was about to be put into the ring, Luo Su stopped, he walked over to take it off, and looked at it carefully, Luo Jingcheng said proudly: "Ancestor, this is the Lanting Collection Preface, which is known as the first line of books in the world, countless people in the world want this word, even when the King of Jin came to ask for it, I didn't give it." ”

Luo Su looked at the words of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and could almost see how chic and wanton the person who wrote these words should be, "Sure enough, it is a good word, first enter the family, and in the future, your child will be born, and then give this text to him, and receive the treasures of your generations, what should you do to repay your merits?" ”

Luo Jingcheng was a little anxious when he heard this, and immediately said: "Ancestor, this is all done voluntarily, not for the reward of the family, Jiangnan Luo's is a branch of the Luo's family, and we always understand what the root is." ”

Luo Su said with a smile when he heard this: "Since you say that you are the Luo family, then you should know that the family has always been stingy in rewarding meritorious people, and in history, there have even been sons who are not the head of the family to inherit the position of the head of the family.

Don't you really want a reward?

And don't listen to what I'm going to give you? ”

Luo Jingcheng said categorically: "As long as you can return to the family, this is the best reward, and you really don't need anything else." ”

Hearing this, Luo Su said to himself playfully: "Just now you seem to have said that you didn't marry a wife, I remember that there are many daughters of the right age in the clan, Xuan Ye, are there several of your sisters who are of marriageable age?"

I want to marry Bo Li, is it possible? ”

Luo Xuanye, a cold-faced person, couldn't help but smile and trembled: "Back to the ancestors, marriage within the clan is my Luo tradition, Brother Boli has already come out of the five suits, naturally he can marry his daughter, and his heir will have the stigma and completely return to the arms of King Su." ”

Yes?

Luo Jingcheng was dumbfounded, he never expected that there would be such a thing, is it too late to regret it now?

He really doesn't need any reward, any glory and wealth, if he needs it, he can go to the Sui Dynasty to become an official now, and with Luo's fame, he will soon be able to become famous.

But he didn't care about any of those things.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about stigmata!

That's stigma!

Even if he can't have the stigma, if he becomes the husband of Luo's concubine and gives birth to an heir with stigma, his status in the Luo clan is almost the same as that of the person who has the stigma, and according to legend, he can even ascend to the heavenly realm to meet King Su.

Almost instantly, he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and now he regretted it, regretting that he had just said too much.

Luo Xuanjing couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw this, she had been by Luo Su's side for so many years, and she had long understood the ancestor's character.

He is like every elder of the Luo family, he is very cold in front of outsiders, and even a little unkind, but in front of his family, he is very kind, and even feels like an old naughty child.

Along the way, the old ancestor would tease himself and the fifth brother from time to time, when he was there in Li Yuan, the old ancestor suddenly teased Luo Xuanye, and now he began to tease Luo Jingcheng again, which is the performance of the old ancestor who regards Luo Jingcheng as his own person.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, took Luo Su's arm and said: "Old ancestor, Brother Boli is already anxious about to smoke above his head, don't tease him, Brother Boli should marry a sister, I think the third sister is very good, knowledgeable." ”

Luo Xuanye's face was cold, but he complained in his mouth: "Ah Jing, what you said is like my Luo woman, who doesn't know how to read and be liable." ”

Without the blessing of the ancestors, the Luo family has no talent for guaranteeing, which does have a great impact on the family, which is also the reason why Luo Su is in a hurry to find a reliable dynasty for the Luo family to bind in order to obtain a lot of heritage.

He wants to restart the ancestral blessing!

Even if he didn't know that thing was called Ancestral Blessing, he knew that there was a guarantee mechanism that consumed a lot of base and disappeared, which caused Luo's talent to wither.

However, even if the talent is withering, but with the education foundation, it is not too bad, especially for women who are not too demanding, and the knowledge of books and gifts is enough to outperform most people.

Luo Xuanjing looked at Luo Jingcheng and said with a smile: "Brother Boli, I have three sisters and three aunts, all of whom are well-read, and their appearance is needless to say, not worse than me.

If you become a relative in the future, you must be good to them.

You know, if you weren't from Luo's people, it would be almost impossible to marry Luo's daughter. ”

Of course, Luo Jingcheng knows that since Huo Qu's illness, he has never married a Luo girl with a foreign surname, either he does not marry, or he marries within the clan, as a Luo daughter who is born close to God, she is completely different from Luo's son in this regard.

Luo Su looked at Luo Xuanjing and talked eloquently, and even patted his chest to reassure Luo Jingcheng, with a look handed over to me, he smiled and said leisurely: "I look at Ah Jing, you are very good, and Boli is very compatible, why don't I set a marriage for the two of you today?"

Then go to Winterfell and send a letter for the Spirit Soldier to bring back and inform your parents. ”

Yes?

Luo Xuanjing didn't expect that there was something of his own in this, Luo Xuanye was still cold, but his eyes narrowed slightly, he recalled that when Li Xiuning was at the beginning, Luo Xuanjing also smiled and said to himself that he wanted to have one more sister-in-law.

As the old saying goes, who does the heavens spare?

This is really, who did the ancestor spare?

————

There are two strange marriages in the Luo family, one is called the marriage within the clan, and the family of the five suits is covered and pure-blooded; The second is said to be married by one wife, and there is no difference between concubines and concubines. - "Rock's Grand View"
